Re: pitch angle/gravity etc.

Could someone help me out with the math or with the amount of drop caused by gravity during the period of time a pitch is traveling to the plate?

OK, found that. Now, anyone have anything to convince a fastpitch coach that, even in fastpitch, most, if not all, pitches have a downward angle as they cross the plate? I've done the math but I would like some "outside" expert testimony to bolster my contention.

Thanks,
